1. Twirl-a-girl

Have your partner lie on their back with their head propped up against a comfy pillow. I know, they're basically living the dream right there. Ask them to spread their legs slightly and then lower yourself onto them them, swinging your legs around to the side.

You'll now be sitting on their thighs or in their lap, so lean back on your hands/the floor/bed for maximum support. You're not expected to bear the weight all by yourself. You're not a goddam acrobat (or maybe you are? IDK).

As they enter you, open your legs slightly and begin making slow, swivelling corkscrew motions. Now you're twirlin'.

2. The Dragon

DW, there's no fire-breathing involved in this one. Lie on your stomach with your arms raised above your head. With a pillow or two placed under your pubic bone, spread your legs slightly. Have your partner stretch their body over yours, mimicking your exact position. When they enter you, instead of fast from-behind thrusting, get them to get it going in a circular, swirling motion for your maximum pleasure.

3. Torrid Triangle

Yeah, you might think this is just the same routine missionary posish, but it's really not. The best thing about this missionary twist: YOU'RE in control. With you lying on the rug/chaise longue, sun lounger (you do you), ask them to get on all fours above you. Don't let them come down too low because you're gonna raise your pelvis up to meet them. Tell them to stay put as you start moving up and down. They'll probably find that hard because it's going to feel gooood, but urge them to resist. It'll be worth resisting.

4. Magic Mountain

Begin your mystical journey to the magic mountain by arranging a huge pile of pillows on the floor. Relax into the pile face-first (I know, comfiest position ever), and follow its mountain shape so your back naturally arches. Like a cat, but less angry. Your partner then sidles up behind you so you're both facing the same direction. Use the pillows for support and open your legs so they can enter you from behind.

You (or they) can use a free hand to reach around and stroke your clit. Get that blended orgasm you deserve.

5. Heavenly Reach

Choose an immovable surface: we're thinking a strong headboard or a bath if you're fortunate enough to have a spacious bathroom. Lie on your back and raise your arms over your head so your palms rest flat on the surface - your head should be several inches from it. If you look like you're reaching for the biscuit tin at the back of the cupboard, you're getting it right.

Once they enter you, missionary-style, bring your legs together as close as possible. Literally snap 'em shut like a clam. With your thighs pressed tightly together, they're going to be (gently) rubbing against your inner thighs, labia and vulva each time they thrust. Just be sure to go wild with the lube.

6. Love Seat

Tell your partner to lie back, propping up their shoulders with a pillow, and have them spread their legs slightly. Yeah, they'll look like The Don... it's kinda hot. Facing the same direction - your back will be to their face - lower yourself onto them. Put your feet between their legs on the floor/bed. Take your right hand and place it on your partner's right hip bone and your left hand on the bed next to their left hip bone. Use your hands and feet to move your body up and down to your heart's content.

7. Wild Ride

Have your partner lie on their back. Facing them, lower yourself down into a kneeling position. Keeping your knees on the bed, curl your feet around the inside of their legs (do whatever is most comfy for you, but it's likely to be around their knees). Lean forward and grab the bedsheets/rug on either side of their head. While holding the sheets - and your feet wrapped around their calves - squeeze your butt, tilt your pelvis, and move in small, tight motions.
